	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1744, Longville.  Local government:  housing elements.
   Existing law requires each council of governments to determine the
existing and projected housing needs for its region, as specified,
for purposes related to each local government's determination in its
housing element of its share of regional housing needs.  Existing law
requires local governments within the regional jurisdiction of the
Southern California Association of Governments to revise the housing
elements of their general plans by June 30, 2000, for the 3rd
revision.  Existing law requires local governments within the
regional jurisdiction of the Association of Bay Area Governments to
revise the housing elements of their general plans by June 30, 2001,
for the 3rd revision.
   This bill would extend the date for the 3rd revision to December
31, 2000, for local governments within the jurisdiction of the
Southern California Association of Governments, and to December 31,
2001, for local governments within the jurisdiction of the
Association of Bay Area Governments.
  The bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an
urgency statute.

community's housing goals and objectives.
   (3) The progress of the city, county, or city and county in
implementation of the housing element.
   (b) The housing element shall be revised as appropriate, but not
less than every five years, to reflect the results of this periodic
review.
   (c) The review and revision of housing elements required by this
section shall take into account any low- or moderate-income housing

section shall be construed to reinstate any mandates pursuant to
Chapter 1143 of the Statutes of 1980 suspended by the Budget Act of
1993-94.
  SEC. 3.  This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the
meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate
effect.  The facts constituting the necessity are:
   In order to ensure that adequate time is available to prepare
housing element revisions with existing resources, it is necessary
that this bill take effect immediately.
